TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to novel compounds that act as a ligand for the sigma receptor/binding site and medicaments comprising said compounds as an active ingredient.

BACKGROUND ART

[0002] The recently identified sigma receptor/binding site of the brain is an important target for the development of antipsychotic drugs that are free from the side affects of currently available antipsychotic drugs having antagonistic activity on the dopamine D2 receptor (J. M. Walker and W. D. Bowen, F. O. Walker and R. R. Matsumoto, B. de Costa and K. C. Rice, Pharmacological Reviews, 42, pp.355-402, 1990; G. Debonnel, J. Psychiatr. Neurosci., 18, 4, pp.157-172, 1993; G.Debonnel and C. de Montigny, Life Sciences, 58, 9, pp.721-734, 1996). Further, some data have been reported that suggest the regulation of signal transmission by a sigma ligand (also referred to as “sigma receptor ligand” in the specification) and its receptor through control of a calcium level in synaptosomes (P. J. Brent, H. Saunders and P. R. Dunkley, Neurosci. Lett., 211, pp.138-142, 1996).

[0003] The term “receptor” used herein means a membrane binding type receptor and other binding sites. Existence of at least two sorts of sigma receptor subtypes, i.e., sigma 1 and sigma 2, has been revealed, and classification of sigma binding sites has been proposed (R. Quirion, W. D. Bowen, Y. Itzhak, J. L. Junien, J. M. Musacchio, R. B. Rothman, T. P. Su, W. Tam and D. P. Taylor, TiPS, 13, pp.85-86, 1992). The sigma 1 binding site is characterized to have high affinity for haloperidol, di-o-tolylguanidine (DTG) and (+)-benzomorphane such as (+)-pentazocine, whilst the sigma 2 binding site is characterized to have high affinity for haloperidol and DTG, but have low affinity for (+)-benzomorphane.

[0004] The sigma 1 ligand has an action on the gastrointestinal tract, and it seems that the sigma 1 site may mediate suppression to muscarine-like acetylcholine receptor/phosphoinositide response by the sigma ligands. The sigma 1 binding site is present not only in brains, but on spleen cells (Y. Lin, B. B. Whitlock, J. A. Pultz and S. A. Wolfe Jr, J. Neuroimmunol., 58, pp.143-154, 1995), and such sigma ligands may suppress the immune system (H. H. Garza, S. Mayo, W. D. Bowen, B. R. DeCosta and D. J. J. Carr, J. of Immunology, 151, 9, pp.4672-4680, 1993).

[0005] The sigma 2 binding site is abundant in livers (A. E. Bruce, S. B. Hellewell and W. D. Bowen, Neurosci. Abstr., 16, 370, 1990; A. S. Basile, I. A. Paul and B. DeCosta, Eur. J. Pharmacol. Mol. Pharm. Sect., 227, pp.95-98, 1992; C. Torrence-Campbell and W. D. Bowen, Eur. J. Pharmacol., 304, pp.201-210, 1996), kidneys (W. D. Bowen, G. Feinstein and J. S. Orringer, Soc. Neurosci. Abstr., 18, 456, abstract 195.8, 1992), and hearts (M. Dumont and S. Lemaire, Eur. J. Pharmacol., 209, pp.245-248, 1991).

[0006] The sigma 2 binding site in brains exists in hypothalamus, cerebellum, pons medulla and medulla oblongata. In hippocampus, frontal lobe and occipital lobe in rat brains, it exists more abundantly than the sigma 1 binding site (D. J. McCann, A. D. Weissmann and T. P. Su, Soc. Neurosci. abstr. 18, 22, abstract 16.5, 1992). In hippocampus synaptosomes of guinea pig, there are also the sigma 2 binding site that is selectively labeled with [³H] BIMU (D. W. Bonhaus, D. N. Loury, L. B. Jakeman, Z. To, A. DeSouza, R. M. Eglen and E. H. F. Wong J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 267, 2, pp.961-970, 1993). The relationship between the sigma 2 binding site and cortex as well as limbic system supports the usefulness of compounds used for treatment of mental diseases (D. C. Mash and C. P. Zabetian, Synapse, 12, pp.195-205, 1992).

[0007] It has been believed that the sigma 2 binding site is involved in motility functions, especially dystonia (R. R. Matsumoto, M. K. Hemstreet, N. L. Lai and A. Thurkauf, B. R. DeCosta, K. C. Rice, S. B. Hellewell, W. D. Bowen and J. M. Walker, Pharmacol. Biochem. Behav., 36, pp.151-155, 1990). However, no evidence demonstrating such an action has been found in primate models of functional disorders of extrapyramidal tract (L. T. Meltzer, C. L. Christoffersen, K. A. Serpa, T. A. Pugsley, A. Razmpour and T. G. Heffner, Neuropharmacology, 31, 9, pp.961-967, 1992).

[0008] Haloperidol, which is a clinically effective dopaminergic antipsychotic agent, shows high affinity for these two sigma subtypes. However, a reduced metabolite of haloperidol that acts on the central nervous system has more excellent affinity and selectivity for the sigma 2 receptor than dopamine D2 as compared to haloperidol (J. C. Jaen., B. W. Caprathe, T. A. Pugsley, L. D. Wise and H. Akunne, J. Med. Chem., 36, pp.3929-3936, 1993). Since a selective agent has not been available, pharmacological significance, distribution and functions of the sigma 2 binding site have not yet been elucidated. On the other hand, recent studies revealed that the sigma 2 site played a role for controlling functions of ileum (G. G. Kinney, E. W. Haris, R. Ray and T. J. Hudzik, Europ. J. Pharmacol., 294, pp.547-553, 1995). These data suggest that the selective sigma 2 ligand is useful for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome.

[0009] Such sigma ligands are disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No.9-302607, Japanese National Phase PCT Laid-Open Publication No. 10-508826 and the like. However, no cyclic amide derivative, such as isoindoline-1-on as a typical example, has been described yet.

[0010] As compounds which have a similar structure to those of general formula (I) of the present invention, Japanese National Phase PCT Laid-Open Publication No. 7-506107 discloses 4-imidomethyl-1-[2′-phenyl-2′-oxoethyl]piperidines such as:

[0011] and hydrochlorides thereof and the like. However, these compounds are described as serotonine 2 antagonists, and whether or not they can act as sigma ligands has not yet been known. Moreover, these compounds having a phthalimide group may probably have a problem of insufficient safety.

[0077] Methods for preparing the compounds of present invention represented by formula (I) are not particularly limited. For example, the compounds can be prepared by any one of the methods described below. The preparations of preferred compounds falling within the compounds of present invention will be more specifically explained in the examples of the specification. Accordingly, those skilled in the art can prepare any of the compounds of present invention falling within the formula (I) by referring to the general explanations which follows and specific explanations of the examples, and suitably modifying or altering starting materials, reaction conditions, reagents and the like, if necessary.

[0078] Method for Preparation

[0079] A compound of the formula (II) (in the formula, Z represents a halogen atom such as chlorine atom, bromine atom, or iodine atom, or tosylate or mesylate or the like, Q′ represents —CH₂—, —CO—, —O— or —S—, and X is as described above) can be reacted with a nucleophilic amino derivative represented by the formula (III) (R₁, R₂, and B have the same meanings as those defined above) to obtain a corresponding compound of the formula (I). This reaction may usually be performed in a polar solvent such as dimethylformamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, ethanol, or acetonitrile in the presence of a base such as triethylamine, sodium hydrogencarbonate, or potassium carbonate.

[0080] When Q′ is —CO—, the amino-keto derivative of the formula (I) can be reduced to obtain a hydroxy derivative of the formula (I′) wherein A is hydroxyl group and Y is hydrogen atom. In general, the reduction can be performed at room temperature in an organic solvent such as ethanol, methanol, or tetrahydrofuran using sodium borohydride. The amino-keto derivative of the formula (I) can also be reacted with an organic metal reagent such as Y—MgBr to obtain a compound of the formula (I′) wherein A is hydroxyl group.

[0081] The acyloxy and alkoxyl compounds can be prepared by usual methods starting from a free hydroxy derivative. An O-alkyl derivative can be prepared by solvolysis of a sulfonyl ester intermediate [Advanced Organic Chemistry, J. March., John Wiley & Sons, New York, pp.264-317, 1985]. A chiral ether can also be obtained by solvolysis of a chiral sulfonyl ester derivative such as camphorsulfonate. An oxime of the keto derivative of the formula (I) wherein Q′ is —CO— can be prepared by an oxime preparation such as those described in Organic Functional Group Preparation Vol. III, S. R. Sandler and W. Karo, Academic Press, London, pp.430-481, 1989.

[0082] As the compound of formula (II) shown in scheme A wherein Q′ is —CH₂— or —CO—, commercially available compounds may be used, or the compounds can be obtained by halogenation using a compound substituted with an alkyl group or an alkylketone group as a starting material or by any similar method. Where Q′ is —O— or —S—, commercially available compounds may be used, or the compounds can be obtained by reacting a compound substituted with hydroxyl group or thiol group as a starting material with Z(CH₂)nZ′ (wherein Z and Z′ represent a halogen atom, tosylate, mesylate or the like) or by any similar method.

[0083] As the syntheses of benzisoxazolidine derivative and benzisothioxazoline derivative, examples includes the methods described in known references [H. Uno, M. Kurokawa, K. Natsuka, Y. Yamato and H. Nishimura, Chem. Pharm. Bull., 24 (4), pp.632-643, 1976; H. Uno and M. Kurokawa, Chem. Pharm. Bull., 26 (12), pp.3888-3891, 1978].

[0084] A compound of the formula (III) as the starting material in the scheme A above wherein m represent 1 can be produced as shown in the above-described scheme B according to the method of P. D. Leeson et al., (J. Med. Chem., 35, 1954-1968, 1992). A compound of formula (IV) (wherein R₉ represents an alkyl group, and R₃, R₄, R₅, and R₆ are as defined above) is halogenated in a solvent such as carbon tetrachloride by using, for example, N-bromosuccinimide to obtain a compound of formula (V) (wherein Z′ represents a halogen atom) which is then allowed to react with a compound of formula (VI).

[0085] The substituent P of the compounds shown in the scheme represents a protective group for amino group such as those described in Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis [T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1991], and the protective group is readily removed to give a piperidine compound of the formula (III).

[0086] Alternatively, compounds of formula (VII) may also be synthesized according to the methods described in literature (I. Takahashi, T. Kawakami, E. Hirano, H. Yokota and H. Kitajima, Synlett, 4, 353-355, 1996; S. M. Allin, C. C. Hodkinson and N. Taj, Synlett. 8, 781-782, 1996).

[0087] Compounds used as starting materials in the aforementioned methods may be a racemate or a desired optically active substance, and a corresponding racemate or an optical, active compound can be produced. It is also possible to produce a desired optically active substance by optical resolution according to known conventional methods. Basic compounds of the formula (I) can form acid addition salts, preferably pharmacologically acceptable salts, with various inorganic and organic acids. These salts can be easily prepared by treating a basic compound of the formula (I) with a mineral acid or an organic acid in a suitable organic solvent such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, or ethyl acetate.

[0088] The compounds of the present invention represented by the aforementioned general formula (I) may have one or more asymmetric carbons, and therefore the compounds may exist as optical isomers.

Racemates can be resolved into optically pure enantiomers by a method well known to those skilled in the art. Furthermore, diastereomers based on two or more asymmetric carbons, and any mixtures thereof also fall within the scope of the present invention. Acid addition salts, preferably pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts, hydrates and any solvates of the compounds of the present invention represented by the aforementioned general formula (I) also fall within the scope of the present invention.

In the presence of 500 nM pentazocine and a control compound at various concentrations (haloperidol, 10⁻¹⁰ to 10⁻⁶ M) or a test ligand at various concentrations (10⁻¹⁰ to 10⁻⁵ M) together with a radioactive ligand, the P2 fraction (0.4 ml) was incubated in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4, final volume: 0.5 ml) at 25° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was rapidly filtered on a Brandel cell harvester using Whatman GF/B filter paper, which was immersed beforehand in 0.5% polyethyleneimine for 1 hour, to stop the reaction. The filter paper was washed 4 times with the ice cooled incubation buffer. The non-specific results were evaluated by using 1 μM haloperidol, and the scintillation analysis and the curve analysis were performed as described above. The Kd value for [³H]-DTG was 6.9 nM. Results are shown in Tables 3 and 4 below.
